HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
DANGER: RISK OF CUT. To avoid se-
rious injury, the barrier portion of the handle-
bar must be installed as shown on the upper
shaft of the powerhead to provide a barrier be-
tween operator and the spinning blade. Attach
handlebar mounting bracket above arrow on
safety warning decal on the upper shaft (pow-
erhead end of unit). Ensure handlebar is posi-
tioned on mounting bracket at the end of the
arrow on the handlebar decal.
NOTE: Two mounting brackets are included
with this attachment. Both brackets are provided
to adapt this attachment for use with power-
heads that have either a 1″ (2.5 cm) diameter or
a 7/8″ (2.2 cm) diameter upper shaft. The cor-
rect bracket must be used to ensure that the
handlebar is mounted securely to the upper
shaft before use.

1. Place the mounting bracket over the up-
per shaft above the arrow on the safety
label. Be sure to use the correct mount-
ing bracket for either the 1″ (2.5 cm) or
7/8″ (2.2 cm) diameter upper shaft.
2. Position one of the bracket covers under
the upper shaft and align the mounting
bracket and the bracket cover screw holes.
Insert two screws into the screw holes.
3. Secure the mounting bracket by tighten-
ing the screws with the hex wrench.
4. Locate the decal on the handlebar. This
decal includes an arrow. Position the
handlebar with the mounting bracket at
the end of the arrow.
5. Position the second bracket cover over
the handlebar. Align the mounting brack-
et and the bracket cover screw holes.
Again make sure the handlebar is at the
end of the arrow.
6. Insert two screws and hand tighten only.
Be sure the handlebar is installed cor-
rectly; then, tighten each screw securely
with the hex wrench.
SHOULDER STRAP ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Proper shoulder strap
and handlebar adjustments must be made
with the engine completely stopped before us-
ing unit. The shoulder strap clamp must be
installed as shown above the handlebar on the
upper shaft (powerhead end of unit).
NOTE: The lower shoulder strap clamp has
two spacer tabs attached. These tabs are pro-
vided to adapt this attachment for use with
powerheads that have a 1″ diameter upper
shaft (the shoulder strap clamp will not tighten
down securely on the 1″ diameter upper shaft
without using these spacer tabs). The tabs
must be broken off completely before use and
placed over the screw holes on the lower
shoulder strap clamp. These tabs are not
needed for powerheads with a 7/8″ upper
shaft.
